Chapter 90 Thugs Come to Cause Trouble
The eldest son puffed out his chest proudly and said, "My father was an excellent factory workshop manager back then. I want to learn from him and surpass him. In the future, I also want to manage a large factory."
Jiang Ruzhen could clearly sense that after going to night school, her boss was full of passion, as if he had inexhaustible energy.
He swept away his past dejection and his spirits finally returned!
"Okay, for your lofty ideal, Mom will definitely try to open a large factory within six months, and then hand it over to you to manage." Jiang Ruzhen nodded repeatedly, patting her eldest son's arm as she made her wish.
The leader patted his chest confidently and said, "No problem."
The mother and daughter chatted and laughed all the way home, dreaming about the future.
The next day, the whole family started their busy day with great enthusiasm. The eldest son worked in the store during the day to collect payments and keep accounts, and then went to night school to study in the evening.
The second son was busy looking for a shop with Jiang Ruzhen. After finding a shop, they started decorating it and training employees.
The fourth child also leaves early and returns late, showing even greater enthusiasm for studying every day.
These past two days, Lu Mingzheng has been busy pulling strings to find someone to install a telephone for the shop. He has a premonition that he will be leaving soon, and he is afraid that after a long time, Jiang Ruzhen will forget his existence.
He must establish a long-term connection, calling her frequently to check on her and keep her thinking of him.
In addition, he was also responsible for delivering meals to Jiang Ruzhen, a woman who would forget to eat and sleep when she got busy.
They usually just eat one bite and call it a day.
Lu Mingzheng would cook different dishes at home every day and deliver them to Jiang Ruzhen, who was renovating her branch store.
The eldest, second, and fourth brothers also got to taste Lu Mingzheng's cooking skills. While they might not surpass the chefs at restaurants, they were certainly much better than the average person.
That day, Jiang Ruzhen and her second son were watching the branch store employees work when they noticed that they needed fewer boards than required.
Jiang Ruzhen took a taxi to buy the items alone, while her second son stayed at the store.
"Clang, clang, clang..."
There was a banging sound coming from outside. The second brother turned around and saw a group of carefree young men standing at the door.
The leader, a young man with blond hair, was banging on the door with a stick, shouting incoherently.
"Stop it, stop it! Have you paid your protection money? Are you going to work here?"
The second brother frowned. "What protection money? Who are you guys?"
The blond-haired thug cursed, "Damn it, they don't even know who we are, you bumpkins. We're the bosses around here, anyone who wants to do business here has to pay us protection money."
"100 yuan a month, that's cheap, pay up now."
Upon hearing this, the second brother rolled up his sleeves and walked over. Where did these little brats come from, daring to ask him for protection money?
Back when he was hanging out with his buddies, those bastards were still playing with mud and pee!
I've learned a few tricks from Uncle Lu these past few days, let's see how they go.
"Come on, you bunch of grandsons, come and have a go with your grandpa. Let me see if you're qualified to rule here."
Upon hearing this, Little Yellow Hair realized he'd met a tough opponent and called his brothers forward, saying, "Brothers, there's someone who's not having it. Come on, let's teach him a lesson he'll never forget."
When the renovation workers saw that the homeowners were about to start a fight, they quickly surrounded them with all sorts of tools.
"What are you doing? A bunch of brats who haven't even grown their hair yet, instead of studying, you're fighting and playing?"
"Everyone back off, no fighting allowed."
"If you're so capable, go join the army and serve your country. Instead, you're always causing trouble. Your parents are ashamed of you."
Several workers righteously criticized these hooligans, and the blond-haired guy picked up a stick and smashed it against the wooden board next to him.
"Stop talking nonsense! I was born without parents, and no one taught me. If you say another word, I'll beat you all up!"
The thugs on Little Yellow Hair's side seemed to be provoked, and they rushed forward excitedly, making it seem like the situation between the two sides was about to break out.
"Stop! What are you doing?" A roar drew everyone's attention.
Lu Mingzheng, holding several lunchboxes, stood at the door, frowning as he looked at them. "Here to cause trouble?"
He looked at the second brother, who nodded and immediately complained, "Uncle Lu, they said they're here to collect protection money."
"Collecting protection money?"
Are these kids even adults yet? They're already trying to emulate foreign gangsters.
He scoffed, "It's just that nobody disciplines them; they're just full of themselves and have nothing better to do."
Lu Mingzheng strolled in and handed the lunchbox to his second son, asking, "Where's your mother?"
The second son rolled his eyes. What time is it? He's still thinking about his mother.
"I've gone out to restock, I'll be back in a bit."
"Alright, I'll finish this quickly, but I can't let her see it."
The second son almost burst out laughing. His Uncle Lu hadn't even entered the family yet, and he was already henpecked.
Knowing that his mother didn't like watching him fight, he usually pretended to be as well-behaved as possible.
Is this a case of revealing one's true nature while Mom is away?
"Then you'd better hurry, or I can help you!"
Lu Mingzheng rolled up his sleeves and walked out calmly. "You stay here. If your mother finds out I got you into a fight, she'll skin me alive."
The blond-haired boy was furious because Lu Mingzheng had been ignoring him. He grabbed a stick and started hitting Lu Mingzheng with it.
"Stop pretending! Watch me beat you to a pulp."
When Lu Mingzheng saw the blond-haired boy coming at him, he calmly dodged and slapped him on the back of the neck.
"At such a young age, you're not learning good things, instead you're picking up gangsters and collecting protection money. Today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents."
The blond-haired guy's move was easily countered, and he was slapped three times in a row, driving him crazy with rage.
He raised the stick again and swung it at Lu Mingzheng, but before he could get close, Lu Mingzheng kicked it back, and the stick bounced off and hit the blond-haired boy on the forehead with a bang, making him dizzy.
He covered his head and looked at his brothers behind him, "Are they all fucking dead? Let's all attack!"
The thugs then realized what was happening and rushed forward, but their rudimentary skills were clearly no match for Lu Mingzheng, who had received special training.
They were all beaten and screaming, some getting kicked in the buttocks, some getting slapped on the neck, some getting their shin bones kicked, and some having their ears pulled.
It wasn't a serious injury, but it carried a blatant sense of humiliation.
At this point, Xiao Huangmao could tell that Lu Mingzheng was a skilled fighter, but he was used to being fawned over by his brothers and refused to back down.
Taking advantage of Lu Mingzheng's inattention, he raised the stick, intending to launch a sneak attack from behind.
Unexpectedly, the second brother grabbed him from behind and threw him over his shoulder, pinning him down. The second brother's fist, as big as a sandbag, kept hitting the blond-haired guy's face.
"Sneak attack? I'll teach you to sneak attack, you little bastard! Today, Grandpa will show you why flowers are so red!"
"Ah...stop hitting me...don't hit my face...you have no sense of chivalry...don't you understand the principle of not hitting someone in the face?"
The second brother chuckled upon hearing this. This blond-haired kid was quite interesting, talking to him about chivalry and honor.
Bang! Another punch landed, nearly breaking the little blond's nose and leaving his face covered in blood.
Lu Mingzheng, on the other hand, was facing eight people and clearly still had plenty of energy left. He even started toying with those thugs.
What are you doing?
With a sudden roar, Lu Mingzheng and his second brother both trembled in fright.
Oh no, the eldest daughter-in-law of the house is back.
